Strikingly manly! Illustrations of Japanese and European Armors

When you hear the word 'armor', do you think of Japanese-style or European-style armors?

Japanese armor is neatly decorated with colorful ornaments on the helmet. The image is focused on its extravagant appearance and abundant hues. European armor, on the other hand, has a dull polish that shines beautifully on the battlefield. Picturing how these warriors would have moved in these armors will definitely tickle our imagination as people in modern society!

Today, we are featuring illustrations of Japanese and European armors. The Japanese and European armors lined up at your local museum might be limited, so please enjoy this valuable "exhibition" brought to you by pixiv!
